Trained by Kris Lees, this lightly-raced filly who started off with an excellent second at Quirindi then closed off quite well when beaten four lengths at Kempsey over 1250m. Go well at the 1315m.

NEXT BEST: MAUI PRINCESS (Race 7, No.1)

Daughter of Alizee’s sire, Sepoy, who looked the goods winning a recent trial at Muswellbrook albeit against only three others but she really does excel when she is fresh. Won first-up last preparation.

VALUE BET: SCARLETT MISSILE (Race 2, No.6)

Back to country grade after contesting three straight TAB Highways at Rosehill finishing third in two of them and fourth in the other with excuses. Well placed here despite the wide draw.

JOCKEY TO FOLLOW

MATTHEW McGUREN is a regular winner of the TAB Jockeys Challenge and should give it a real shake again with a great book.

Nestor has a big team racing at Dubbo’s Showcase meeting and, outside of the cup, he’s looking forward to seeing Fast Talking try to win three straight races in a class 3 handicap (1600m) earlier in the day.

Fast Talking won by nearly nine lengths last start in a class 1 race over 1710m and, despite stepping up in grade today, Nestor can’t see any reason why he won’t continue his winning ways.

“I like Fast Talking,’’ he said.

“I think he’s a nice horse.

“He beat nothing the other day at Wellington but he won very well and I think he’s improved again.

“He’s a couple of lengths better than his last run and I think he might be coming back for a Dubbo Cup next year.”

The best race of the day is probably the seventh, the feature sprint, and Nestor has Kenny Succeed trying to beat the likes of Westlink, Drachenfels and It’s So Obvious. Kenny Succeed is set to start around $12.

“Kenny Succeed is going along great,’’ Nestor said.

“He worked sensational on Tuesday morning.

“He’s a natural leader so if he can dictate he might take a bit of beating.”

Nestor has a handful of other horses going around today and most will start at about an appealing $15. So, which of them is his best each-way hope?

“I think Bellszov Bourke (race three),’’ Nestor said.

“He’s knocking on the door but it’s a tough little race.

“Chris Heywood’s (Blitzar) is the one to beat.

“It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if mine came out and won.”

MATT JONES’ INSIDE MAIL

DUBBO

RACE 1

Shamusu Sho hasn’t been far off in two provincial races and he’s going to be well supported her because of that. He does go from 1100m to 1400m which his always a slight query but he is looking for more ground. Set Goals has form behind Lashes and Kylease and has the talent to win a maiden soon but does have to do it from a wide gate. The blinkers have helped Megalodonwhile Giovanina is ready for a big run.

Bet: Shamusu Sho to win

RACE 2

Arrogante is a deserved favourite here due to his consistent and the form around him but there’s two horses, Fusca and FastTalking, that will test him. Fast Talking won by 8 ¾ lengths last time and have improved off that run which he’ll need to if he’s to beat the top weight who is close to heading to a midweek race in town. Fucsa has drawn poor and will likely be ridden cold which won’t bother her. Cosmic City drops in grade and wants this distance now so he’s in it too.

Bet: Quinella 1, 5

RACE 3

Blitzar is the one to beat after just getting nabbed on the line at his debut after coming out of a wide gate. He’ll get abetter run this time from the gate and have more in the tank for the last 50m. Bellszov Bourke should have the speed to cross them from a wide gate and her form on paper says she’s right in this. But does she run out 1000m strongly? Can’t Beat Me and Fiery Zone look like the other main contenders along with One More Girl.

Bet: Blitzar to win

RACE 4

You couldn’t be more impressed by Mr Hussill’s win first-up when working from a long way out to stride past the 10 horses in front of him at the 800m and win by two lengths. Surely he just goes on with it and wins again? Ben Shoof will put up a fight if he can slot in somewhere from a wide draw and the same can be said for Miss Lon. African Guy is probably going to start a little over the odds.

Bet: Mr Hussill to win

RACE 5

The emergencies would all be chances if they get runs in this. Attilius is flying at the moment and over 1400m. He’ll have to quickly get used to carrying 65kg in this picnic cup race though if he’s to win again. Gadfly just can’t crack it for a win at 1400m thus far but he’s got the grounding to do it today. Cooee March will handle the 1400m and there should be no excuses.

Bet: Attilius to win

RACE 6

Antarctic Ocean was expected to break his maiden last start which he did and he should be beating most of these home but there’s one or two that will worry his connections. Christo is one of them even though he’s drawn wide. He’s a talent who has looked great at the trials. Harbouring is similar but does get the much better draw and will give him a big advantage from the 1300m start. It might be enough to hold them out, but Christo does look to be the most talented.

Bet: Antarctic Ocean to win

RACE 7

They’re trying everything to get Drachenfels a win. This is a touch short of his best trip but he’s drawn perfectly and has the form and natural talent to be winning a race in the bush. Westlink would be close to unbeatable had he drawn better. The plan will be to ride him cold then unleash from the back in the straight. He could easily gobble them up. Keeny Succeed will try and pinch this from the front.

Bet: Quinella 1, 5

RACE 8

Sugar Dance is the class horse but does lump 59kg from a wide gate with an apprentice on. He’s also a touch suspect at the distance. Artistic Beauty should get closer to him this time too. Mr Dumony isn’t and the key to him is going into his races fresh which he’ll do again as he looks to make it three straight. Magic Over The Bay is peaking for this now and has shown good enough form while Helstar is a much better horse at Dubbo and looks to be overs.

Bet: Helstar each way

RACE 9

Bold Lady is the value runner of the field and she races well at her home track. Screen Shot just got beat last stat but now gets barrier one and the services of Adam Hyeromimus which is a huge boost. Little Bertie is in top form and the best is yet to come while Are You Dreaming scored a nice win first-up and is going to put himself in the perfect spot to score again.

Bet: Exacta 15, 8

COFFS HARBOUR

RACE 1

Dinah Moe Humm shares her name with a Frank Zappa song. The mare was trained firstly by Greg Hickman then Scott Singleton and now by her owner, Larry Fairhall at Cessnock. Three runs have all contained merit to some degree, market the best guide here. A Bute Scott won a trial here back in January. Not a bad debut on this track on May 31. Gotta Minute was runner-u at her only run at the track/distance.

Bet: Dinah Moe Humm win, quinella 1,7, box trifecta 1,7,8

RACE 2

Scarlet Missile ran in three straight TAB Highways of late, all at Rosehill. She was third in the two July visits then was five-weeks between runs and struck a bog so kudos to her for that fourth there on August 31. Down in class and always gives her best. The Kris Lees trained Moscini has won both starts this new campaign, a maiden then a Class 2 — never easy. Metre Eaterand Yarrinup Flyer are both players.

Bet: Scarlet Missile win, exacta 6 to beat 1

RACE 3

Lose The Snip is trained on the track by Joanne Hardy and has barely put a foot wrong in his eight starts; four placings and a win. On top of that, he has placed at both runs at home. Run well again, always does. Painted Wolf is a Gold Coast visitor from the Edmonds camp. led throughout to win his maiden at Lismore. Nomed for that venue next Thursday. Shy One has hit her best stride this campaign. Rosy Elsie can easily figure.

Bet: Lose The Snip win

RACE 4

Local galloper The Memory Man made his New South Wales debut on August 16 leading for the most part but clocking in 0.8-lengths third in a 1250m maiden at Taree. His two runs down in Victoria were both very good. Gets his big chance today. Guest is bursting to breakthrough . The Jim Jarvis trained gelding is winless after 14 starts but he has placed nine times. Grand Anthem was third to Painted Wolf (see above) last start.

Bet: The Memory Man win, box trifecta 1,2,3

RACE 5

Meyer is a Kris Lees trained filly who handed in a rock solid debut at Quirindi when runner-up in a 1000m Class 1. Was well down the order next time at Kempsey but was back near last and wasn’t beaten all that far. This track/distance suits better.Sweet Kiara is trained by Aiden St Vincent whose dad, Paul, won three Ramornies with The Jackal. This mare doesn’t run many bad races and is right in this from the good alley. The actor and Dynasty Di can medal.

Bet: Meyer win, quinella 3,14, exacta 3 to beat 14

RACE 6

Toe Tapper was scratched from a Class 3 at Dubbo today to contest this Class 2 instead. The Newcastle based mare has won two of her four starts and was runner-up at one, that was at Tamworth on August 30 to a handy type, Poulton Le Sands. Classy Fella was fantastic winning at Newcastle last start. If he reproduces something similar, he’ll be in the finish for sure. Dew Drop went very close himself at Beaumont (Newcastle) last time. Peaking now.

Bet: Toe Tapper win, exacta 2 to beat 3, quinella 2,3

RACE 7

Maui Princess flies fresh. The daughter of Golden Slipper winner Sepoy was bred by George Altomonte who bred two Slippers himself, Sebring and his own Overreach. As for Maui Princess, she has raced four times first-up for a win and three placings.Won first-up last campaign and has trialled really well. Impulsive Maneuver is a local who doesn’t win out of turn but is very often thereabouts. Wild Fortune was emphatic winning on debut.

Bet: Maui Princess win

COFFS HABROUR PREVIEW

Jim Jarvis has nominated Helmet daughter Yarrinup Flyer as the best of his “fab four” in action at the home track this afternoon.

Jarvis’ familiar pink and white colours are sure to be flying high thanks not only to her but also via Rosy Elsie, Guest and Impulsive Manner who are all placed to advantage by the local stalwart.

Yarrinup Flyer has raced four times for Jarvis since relocating from the Melbourne stables of Anthony Freedman whose attention is no doubt focused on winning the pending $14m TAB The Everest (1200m) with current race favourite Santa Ana Lane.

Of those four runs in New South Wales, Yarrinup Flyer has won twice including once at Coffs.

Her most recent outing was a seven-length eighth of 14 in a TAB Highway at Rosehill on August 31.

“That last run was probably a bit better than what it looked,’’ Jarvis says.

“She doesn’t like the heavy and that day at Rosehill was a bog. She was up there going all right to the turn and as soon as he let her down to have another go, she floundered in that heavy going.’’

Trainer, Jim Jarvis says Yarrinup Flyer is the best of his four runners at Coffs Harbour. Picture: AAPSource:AAP

Rosy Elsie likewise will have her share of admirers in the Regional Australian Bank Class 1 Handicap (1315m) after a fabulous return to racing at Kempsey in September 2 when closing off to run 0.9-length third over 1000m.

“She is probably suited over a little bit further but it is a perfect step-up and it’s at home so that’s good,’’ said Jarvis.

“She has improved because she hadn’t done much work before that first-up run, she only had only one little jumpout.’’

Jarvis’s cleverly-named Guest, a son of the Chilean sire Host, is also having the second run of the current campaign in the Will and Healthcare Equipment Maiden Handicap (1315m).

The chestnut was doing his best work late in the piece when runner-up to Kris Lees’s handy galloper, Mr Piquet, in a 1250m maiden at Kempsey 13-days ago.

“He is only about 14.1 hands and he has got to carry those big weights but he is just a trier. That was a big first run considering from where he came from in the race so he’ll take that next step. He doesn’t have a lot of early pace but I would expect him to be running on well at the end of the race,’’ Jarvis said.

The last of the Jarvis quartet running today is Impulsive Maneuver who has to overcome a wide draw in the Telum Labour Hire Benchmark 58 Handicap (1012m).

“He is the type of horse who appreciates getting his toe into the ground and we’ve just been dogged by wide barriers or hard tracks. He is close to home and he has gone all right here before and he’s a place chance,’’ Jarvis said.
